Cute publication of the Suite,
By Matthew (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nutcracker Suite in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
I purchased this score years ago before Dover published the full ballet score, and though I wished I had the full ballet at the time, this sufficed as a convenient set of selections from the ballet that form the Suite. Please, do realize that this is the SUITE and not the full ballet. It does say it in the title, but I've read a few reviews from people upset by the fact that it wasn't the full ballet. The title says "Suite" so please realize this before purchasing this product.

Not Exactly What I Expected,
This review is from: Nutcracker Suite in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
I was slightly disappointed when I received this score. While the contents of the book are exceptional - as is always the case with Dover - and the binding of the book is unusually strong - sewn, not glued - I found it disturbingly thin. Much to my dismay, I discovered that this book did not contain every piece I had expected. Perhaps I am unfamiliar with the exact contents of the "Nutcracker Suite," but all the pieces on my Nutcracker CD were NOT in this score. 99.9% of the time, Dover produces the best score available to the average consumer. This is the .1%. While it might be the best score on the market today, I found that it was not what I had wanted. Don't get me wrong - everything in the book is fantastic - I had just expected more.

Can't complain,

This review is from: Nutcracker Suite in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
The score is fine. It came in good condition. The picture on the front is kind of disturbing, though. Haven't seen any typos. The edition looks clean.
